Ingredients
- ½ a cup of plain flour
- ½ a cup of (vegan) milk (plant power fuel!)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder (spice up your life!)
- Handful of raisins (tiny bursts of sweetness)
- 1 mango
Whipping up these cinnamon raisin pancakes is like giving your taste buds a cozy, vegan hug. With simple pantry staples and a tropical mango twist, it’s proof that plant-based breakfasts can be just as indulgent (if not more) than the traditional stack. Remember, veganism can be simple or gourmet, so don’t hesitate to get creative with your toppings! Pancake day just got a whole lot fruitier!
How to Make It
Whipping up these cinnamon and raisin pancakes is as easy as pie—well, pancake, actually! Start by mixing together half a cup of plain flour with half a cup of your favorite vegan milk (almond, soy, oat—whatever floats your plant-based boat), a tablespoon of baking powder to give your pancakes that lovely fluffiness, and a teaspoon of cinnamon powder to add that cozy, warm hug of flavor.
Once your batter looks smooth and inviting, toss in a handful of juicy raisins. Give it a gentle stir to spread those sweet little gems evenly. Now, if your pan isn’t already pre-heated and ready to party, get it warm and non-stick—because pancakes sticking is just sad vegan crime.
Ladle some batter into the pan; if you’re feeling like a giant pancake boss, pour half the mixture in for one big ol’ flapjack, or go for smaller, cuter ones by using a quarter of the batter each time.
Cooking these beauties is all about patience and love—cook them on one side until you spot those little bubbles popping up, then flip ’em to the other side until they’re golden and cooked through. No burnt edges, please; we’re aiming for fluffy, not charcoal.
While those pancakes are sizzling, the mango dip is a breeze: peel a mango, slice away the core, and chuck the juicy fruit into a blender. Puree until it’s silky smooth—think tropical sunshine in a bowl. To add an extra twist to your breakfast, consider serving these pancakes alongside a vibrant veggie bowl that showcases colorful ingredients and enhances the meal’s nutrition.
Serve that luscious mango dip alongside or drizzled on top, and just like that, you’ve got a breakfast that’s sweet, spicy, and seriously satisfying. Vegan breakfast champions, rejoice!
Bonus Tips
- Toss in a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla to make your pancakes smell like a cozy hug from the vegan fairy godmother.
- Swap raisins for chopped dates or dried cranberries if you want to shake things up without breaking the vegan bank.
- Use your mango dip as a sneaky smoothie booster—blend it with some spinach and a banana for a breakfast that’s practically a superhero in disguise. You can also try adding Chia Seed Pudding for extra fiber and a nutritional boost.
